Tough love is the best - from Anonymous

can I start by saying...... I want to remain anonymous please.
I have just read an email from a lady that her son is in prison.
My heart goes out to her as I know what she is going through.
My son started with young offenders prison and is now 40+ years old and nothing has changed. He is the most lovable lad and would have done anything for anyone and still would,maybe that is his problem.....at the start I broke my heart in the visiting room but now I dont really visit him as I now feel anger at him for letting the things happen to him. His trouble started when he started high school. On the very first day he came home from school after one hour.He has never told me what had happened...he was good before he started that school, at primary school his work was
great....that doesn't say much for the school, it was a brand new school but the teachers were terrible and didnt seem properly trained...
Anyway he had every thing on a plate from me but I think that's were I went wrong, he had to much... more than my other kids they were a lot older than him and in prison just like your lad.
We gave him every thing he asked for, I still want to keep giving but im tired of it. My anger kicks in and that's that...His dad goes to see him along with his two girls as often as he can because if he didnt he would feel guilty. I can only strongly advise you not to give into him.
You will feel bad for a while but it gets easier. Put your foot down and say NO because I have found out... tough love is the best!
I wish you the very best for the furture. From Anonymous.

It is with deep sadness to inform our readers that one of the most amazing, courageous and wonderful, activists, Sandie Blanton, passed away suddenly on the 11th December 2013.
Many of our supporters here at Prisoners Families Voices truly admired Sandies work and to say she will be sadly missed is an understatement.
I remember messaging Sandie about writing to someone on Texas death row because I hadn't got a clue what was what. Nothing was too much trouble for Sandie and she guided me through the do's, don'ts, if's, buts, and you name it. I followed Sandie's work and wondered how on earth she managed to do what she did, but she was a real trooper with a solid mind and remarkable spirit. I'm not normally the religious type, but God most definitely made the right decision when he blessed Sandie with the special motivation and gift to support prisoners on death row and boy she didn't let him down either. What we must remember is that all God's Angels co…

Letters, they’re just words on a piece of paper, an expression of feelings, answers to questions or an explanation of things going on in life.
What can be expressed or told can easily be done so via a phone call, after all, we are modern people in a modern world with modern means of conversing, so why waste time writing a letter?
Think of a photograph, one that reminds you of something dear to your heart, a moment saved in time that puts a smile on your face every time you look at it. What about that conversation you had last month that that really made a difference to your day when you were feeling low? You know, the one you had with such a body about such a thing...what did they say again?
The beauty of a letter is that those emotions and inspirational words of thoughtfulness are frozen in time, allowing people who have all the time in the world to read time and time again, revisiting the uplifting moment they experienced the first time they read it.
